Kernighan and Ritchie's ANSI C book is the one reference you need for all things C.

No doubt thats a good book but something more graphical in illustration like "C for dummies" for pointers would be wonderful.

Google is your friend :-), but if you want a book, Amazon has one that has gotten some good reviews - "Pointers on C" by Kenneth Reek: http://www.amazon.com/Pointers-C-Kenneth-Reek/dp/0673999866/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288095036&sr=8-1

Pointer is a concept that comes from computer architecture, so I'd say that some assembly languages makes the stronger base. Here you have one such book: http://www.planetpdf.com/codecuts/pdfs/aoa.pdf
